Apparently price does not matter as majority of the Camaros being ordered are the 2SS's.

If you are in the business of making money, you ramp up production of what is actually selling..In this case, the SS is outselling the V6. So you produce more V8 SS's then and less V6's until that changes..How hard is that to understand. SO GM wants to sell more V6's, limiting V8 production and offering specials that you can only get on the V6 is counter productive.. In a business you want to make as much money per item as possible. Selling the V8 gets you a larger profit. It's just like a waitress telling you her favorite dish is the most expensive one at a restaurant or push a dessert at the end. Ford has the right idea with the Mustang and did make a profit this year without a Government takeover.. Take a lesson from Ford here GM...They have a wide range of models and packages to choose from to fit all types of buyers..

With the camaro having a 19 gallon tank thats 3.80 cents more you would pay if you are bone dry. Given most people fill up before that point it won't even be that much.
And comparing a motorhome to a car with way less tank capacity is silly. I have never minded filling up my v-8s and V-10 when gas was 4 dollars. You must be Al Gore in costume.  |
V8 vs V6 in terms of gas depends how much you drive..driving habits, etc.. For me, I would save 20 bucks a month or so on gas if I had a V6. You pay more on oil as well and tires/brakes.... However I'm glad to spend the extra amount since it makes the car more enjoyable to drive. If I was worried about gas prices, I would have gotten a Prius perhaps...
